The Need for Quality Early Childhood Education

The Fair Haven Family Stroll & Festival spotlights the urgent need to increase access to high-quality early childhood education. In the New Haven area, for every 100 families looking for an infant/toddler slot, only 2 slots are available. For preschool slots, the number is better (46 of 100), but of these, only 61% leave the programs ready for kindergarten, reducing the number of high-quality slots to 27. The cost of high quality care (ranging from $1,200 - $1,800 per month) further decreases access.

Studies by Nobel laureate and early childhood education expert James Heckman show that early childhood education has the HIGHEST rate of return on each dollar invested when compared with all other stages of education.
